SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 739,482, dated September 22, 1903.
Application filed June 23, 1903. Serial No- 162j806| (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I,WILLIAM A. DICKINSON,
a citizen of the United States,residing at Newark, in the county of Essex, State of New Jer- 5 sey, haveinvented certain newand useful Improvements in Adjustable Holders, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to an adjustable holder, and particularly to a metallic structure having a resilient body. Y
The invention has for an object to provide a holder for bottles and glasses and other objects having a series of separate base-supports connected by lateral resilient portions,
whereby the body of the holder is rendered automatically adjustable to differences in the size of the articles inserted therein, so as to maintain the proper frictional hold thereon.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved construction of holder formed from a single piece of material having radiating base'portions and lateral resilient body portions integral with and extending between the adjacent base portions.
Other and further objects and advantages of the invention will be hereinafter set forth and the novel features thereof defined by the 0 appended claims.
In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective of the holder, a bottle being indicated by dotted lines therein. Fig. 2 is a plan thereof. Fig. 3 is a holder similar to Fig. 1, having an integral handle formed thereouand adapted to support a glass; and Fig. 4 is a perspective of a bottle-holder having a vertically-extending body portion to receive the neck of a bottle, as indicated by dotted lines therein.
Like letters of reference refer to like parts.
A, while at the opposite end A the body por tion B of the holder extends in a substantially vertical plane and is merged into and integral with the base portions upon op posite sides thereof. This body portion is provided at its upper end with a segmental cross-bar B. The parts of the holder, as shown in Figs. land 2, are adapted to be formed of a single piece of 1nater ialfor'instance,.wire-the free ends of which may be joined at any desired point by welding-for example, as shown by dotted lines'at 13*- while the segments of the cup-shaped body thus formed are laterally resilient in order to receive and frictionally engage the object inserted in the holder-for instance, a bottle-as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 1.
The form of the invention shown in Fig. 3 is similar to that shown in Fig. 1, with the exception that the free ends of the wire are carried from the end of one of thebasesA to form a handle 0. The wire at the end of the base is bent back upon itself, as indicated at O, and then upward again to form the handle C and finally attached to the cross-bar B of adjacent body portions, as indicated by dotted lines at C In Fig. 4. the construction is similar to that shown in Fig. 1, with the exception that the body portions B are extended upward at their upper portions D to present a long bearing for the neck of the bottle and there provided with segmental cross-bars D, shown at the free ends of the wire forming this holder, being connected together upon one of these bars, as indicated at D WVhen this elongated body is provided, it is frequently desirable to provide means to limit the lateral expansion of the sections thereof, which may be accomplished by means of the ring D210- cated upon the outside of the holder at the bent portion A between the base sections and the body portion.
It will be seen that the holder shown in Fig. 1 is adapted to receive a round-bottom or othershaped bottle, while that shown in Fig. 3 is particularly adapted and intended 95 for a glass or tumbler and the form in Fig. 4
for receiving the neck of an inverted bottle, which is especially desirable for use in showwindow displays. While these applications of the invention have been shown, the improvements are adapted for use with many other articles and present a radially-resilient body,which renders the holdersel f-adj ustable to articles of different sizes, and being light they will readily cling to and be carried by the articles if the sameare picked up, and consequently remain in place to support the articles when they are again placed upon a fixed support.
Theinvention also presents aholder formed from a single piece of wire or other similar material in which the parts are so disposed as to secure a firm base-support with the greatest resiliency and adjustability in the body of the holder. When thus made of a single piece of material, there are but two ends to be joined together by soldering or brazing, and thus a stronger and more efficient holder is produced with the use of a small amount of material.
It will be obvious that changes may be made in the details of construction and configuration without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
Having described my invention and set forth its merits, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A holder comprising a series of radiating base portions and independent latera1ly-.
resilient body portions extended upward and outward from the inner ends of separated base portions and connected at their upper ends by a horizontally-disposed bar.
2. A holder formed from a single piece of material and comprising base portions bent upon themselves one strand of each portion being carried outward and upward from the inner end of the base into a vertical plane and the opposite strands of each base portion connected at the top of the vertical portion by a segmental bar.
3. A holder formed from a single piece of wire and comprising base portions bent upon themselves one strand of each portion being carried upward into a vertical plane and the opposite strands of each base connected by a cross-bar, and an integral handle portion extended from the free end of one base upward and connected to adjacent cross-bars.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses. WILLIAM A. DICKINSON. Witnesses:
